How Bob Weir Went From Kid Brother To The Boss
Bob Weir got fired from the Grateful Dead at twenty.In 1968, Jerry Garcia and Phil Lesh told Weir he didn't count. Rock Scully put it plain: the weight was on four cats, not six. Weir was twenty years old, standing in a construction ditch on his birthday with rainwater up to his ankles.What he did next — and what the Grateful Dead spent the next three decades refusing to acknowledge — is one of the stranger power struggles in rock history. From the Tom Sawyer routine that produced Ace in 1972, to Bobby and the Midnites with Billy Cobham and Alphonso Johnson, to the June 1982 show where Jerry Garcia voluntarily opened for Weir's side band — the solo career was never about the spotlight. It was about finding a room where nobody told him to eat their shorts.When Garcia died in 1995, RatDog was already running. Brent Mydland had been scouted from Weir's solo project. The boss had been ready for years.https://youtu.be/CqEdBsnH8fs

Flashback to “RatDog with Bob Weir” on “Austin City Limits”
- “Brown-Eyed Women” pulled from “ACL” vault in Weir’s memory
RatDog was Bob Weir’s second-longest-running band, lasting nearly 20 years (1995-2014) and morphing from a blues outfit into more of a Grateful Dead cover act, albeit with a Dead man at the helm.
The band was in transition when it appeared on “Austin City Limits” around 2001. This iteration included DJ Logic on turntables, Kenny Brooks on saxophone, Jeff Chimenti on keys and Mark Karan on guitar alongside co-founders Weir, double bassist Rob Wasserman and drummer Jay Lane.
The announcer incorrectly introduces the band as “RatDog with Bob Weir” - it was billed as Bob Weir and RatDog - and the group performs “Brown-Eyed Women” in a clip pulled from the vault in celebration of Weir, who died last week at 78.
This is a reminder of an oft-forgotten era as Weir, still finding his post-Jerry-Garcia way, added scratching, brass and other accoutrements to his complement of sound as he sought to preserve and expand the music left behind.
RatDog went through many phases over the years and Sound Bites caught most of them, though the blog never went to more than two consecutive shows. This was an up period for the band and watching this video left me both happy to have enjoyed the ride and wistful for the days that are now gone for good.
